New Ufo report in from Pretoria South Africa July 2010

It helps both our readers and those doing investigations to hear from first hand witnesses.

Pretoria - An unidentified flying object (UFO), which apparently consisted of three bright lights, astounded residents from Booysens in Pretoria for two consecutive nights for several hours.

Engela van der Spuy, 67, who lived in Attie Street in Booysens, contacted Beeld after she watched the strange set of lights on Thursday night for the second consecutive night.

Van der Spuy for the first time saw the UFO on Wednesday night shortly after sunset in the western sky.

"I couldn't make out the shape of the object because the three lights were too bright, but it almost had a heart shape because there were two lights on top, a blue light on the left and an emerald green light directly next to it, on the right side, with a big bright white light underneath it which shone straight down," she said.

Dumbfounded

According to her, the UFO hung in the air for two hours without moving and then, at about 20:30, slowly started moving down, diagonally to the left and still down, disappearing behind the horizon.

On Thursday night, the UFO again appeared shortly after sunset and at 20:30 again started moving down before disappearing.

"I called all the neighbours and we looked at it together, but no one could figure out what it could be. All we knew, was that it definitely was not a star or a normal plane."

Henrico Swart, 19, Van der Spuy's neighbour, who looked at the UFO through binoculars, was dumbfounded.
"It has to have a very strange shape, because even through the binoculars I couldn't make out the shape," said Swart.

"All you could see, were three bright lights."

On enquiry, spokespeople from the Hercules police station, the Johannesburg Planetarium and the South African Air Force had no knowledge of the incident and were unable to explain the phenomenon.

Saw 3 star-like lights moving erratically in the night sky on 17 July 2010 from Pretoria, South Africa.

Video does not disply the lights as they were too far away. Light coming from the objects did not seem to be emitted from the objects themselves, but rather a reflection from the sun as it had a constant reddish-yellow glow. Friends can confirm sighting.

Ufo book of the Month:

Everyone knows about the reported recovery of a crashed alien
spaceship near Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947. However, most people are
unaware that, at the time of the incident, Roswell Army Airfield was home to the
world's only atomic bomber squadron, the 509th Bomb Group. Was this merely a
coincidence? More on the book here
